| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scenic view of Glacier National Park, Montana, featuring the imposing northeast slope of Mount Reynolds rising prominently in the background, rendered with fine engraved detail evoking the grandeur of the Rocky Mountain landscape. In the foreground, a mountain goat navigates the rugged rocky terrain of the park's high country, symbolizing the region's iconic wildlife. The park name GLACIER arcs along the upper periphery, with the state name MONTANA below, flanked by the designer's initials BF and CLV. The date 2011 and the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM appear in the lower portion of the field. |

| Additional information |
The Glacier National Park quarter was the third of five America the Beautiful quarters released in 2011, part of the 56-coin program authorized by Congress in 2008 to run through 2021. Glacier sits on the U.S.-Canada border and shares a designation with Canada's Waterton Lakes National Park as the world's first International Peace Park, a status granted in 1932 — a distinction that influenced its selection for the program.
Philadelphia and Denver struck the circulation strikes; San Francisco handled the proofs. Combined mintage across both circulation facilities exceeded 175 million pieces.
